4 HUÍLA PROVINCE Huíla s Huila has natural features and capabilities that, properly stimulated, can contribute to the socio-economic development of the province and the country. Located southwest of Angola, with an area of km2, in the Province of Huila s surrounding there are the provinces of Benguela and Huambo in the north, the Namibe Province in the west,, Bié and Kuando Kubango to the west and in the southern end the Cunene Province, thus offering a strategic position enhanced by air links, rail and road to the main urban centers as well as surrounding provinces and the country's capital, Luanda. According to the provisional results of the 2014 Census the province has a resident population estimated at 2,354,398 inhabitants, mostly rural (1,573,018 inhabitants) and a middle class composed of professions related to health and education, Huíla should continue to focus their efforts on developing the economic sectors that benefit from its primordial conditions, particularly the agricultural sector with an consequent stimulation of agribusiness. The agricultural sector presents itself as one of the most attractive for investment, both by the high profitability but mostly by the potential consumer market of over 100 million people between Angola, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as main export destination of Angolan agricultural production. The Provincial Development Plan envisages to consolidate, develop and diversify the economic base of the province, enhancing the production capacity of agriculture, livestock, industry and tourism. The identification of a vast area of lakes and potentially fertile soils with skills for the promotion of agriculture, livestock, aquaculture and forestry, and the existence of appropriate microclimate for growing temperate species, promote projects linked to the primary sector and consequently the secondary, it is therefore essential to conduct a forum as means of attracting investors to boost and diversify the business world. 4
